  1. That’s what I’m hoping for. I think it was a few weeks back but on Twitter JB was hinting at going in for something. No way it was for RoTD.
  2. Watched it yesterday as well. So glad something I like is back. So good to have a new episode of Doctor Who.... and Jack! I’ve started rewatching Torchwood because of him. Speaking of think I’ll go watch the werewolf episode too.
  3. Season three is going to be more episodic like TOS, TNG etc. At least that’s what the guys at polygon are saying. they’ve seen the first four episodes already. I don’t need cliffhangers and dire galaxy ending situations in every episode. TNG only used those sparingly and for big moments. Mostly to do with the Borg. Speaking of I hope they explain where the Borg are in this future. Diplomacy is back (kinda) in this episode. Plus they’ve pulled off a ScoobyDoo moment that could be leading to the beginnings of a new Federation. https://www.polygon.com/tv/2020/10/15/21518039/star-trek-discovery-season-3-review-preview-cbs-all-access
  4. Finally started season 3 and I’m glad the early reviewers were right in that they’re jettisoning the season 1&2 dark atmosphere and going forward with a hopeful narrative. Sarus speech to Gheorgio about who the Federation are and their ideals inspiring hope for that outpost/colony. That’s my Star Trek. I’m now willing to watch the rest of the season.
  5. who’s Xon ? Just rewatched Crisis Point. You’re right. That’s was a great episode. From the movie credits to the change in pacing from comedy to movie mode, how the characters actually experienced growth. Subtle thing I noticed this time around. The shows got clean sharp lines up until the “movie” starts. Then I thought my tv was screwy until I realized they added “film grain” effect at that point. The softness of the shots; the dirty scratches, spots and hair.
  6. Yeah I wanted to separate Lower Decks from Discovery and Picard. The tone of those two series is completely different then what LD is going for. The Cerritos is a brightly lit ship with plenty of soft illumination ala TOS, TNG, Voyager etc. The full body bright colored uniforms are back which feel more warm and inviting than the monotone uniforms with color accents. I love the idea that these are Star Fleets 2nd contact crews(tier 2) aka not the Enterprise/Voyager/Defiant. The characters all follow the exploits of the tier 1 crews like reading the sports section but they whine and complain like normal people when they have to deal with the messes tier 1 crews leave behind. I too love the counselor. His schtick was funny. Maybe as good as Sigouney Weavers job in Galaxy Quest Season 2 is pretty much confirmed as Frakes and Sirtis are reportedly said to be signed on for a few episodes
  7. So season 1 just finished. After suffering through Star Trek Discovery (except for the episodes with Pike) and Picard not really feeling like Star Trek ST Lower Decks was different and fun. Sure episode one felt like it was trying too hard with all the references and Mariner and Boimler being a bit Rick & Morty but they and the cast grow on you. It started feeling like a cartoon version of The Orville, which I feel is the spiritual successor to ST after Voyager. The finale though... who the hell thought these old TNG joke aliens would be back except upgraded?! Like damn. But the kicker was when a Federation ship shows up and a few seconds later you’re like wait what why is that am I hearing what I think I’m hearing?? YES!! (Trying hard to be spoiler free) Suffice it to say I enjoyed the campy romp of STLD and I’m in for season 2.
  8. Watching latest season of Seven Deadly Sins. Half way through it. SAO....looks like they're gearing up to wake Kirito up. Gundam Build Divers: ReRise....just finishing it cause it's Gundam but I really don't feel either way about the characters. They're kinda bland. Fire Force, One Piece and Super Dragon Ball Heroes are still fun.
  9. No Politics. It's in the first line.
  10. *drops into thread * *oh god preorder madness again* Good luck all. Play nice. I might join in the craziness but I still have my Yammie 1/48 1S.
  11. Actor in Alien, LoTR, 5th Element and other fantastic SciFi/Fantasy has passed. https://variety.com/2020/film/global/ian-holm-dead-bilbo-baggins-lord-of-the-rings-1234642549/
  12. I stopped paying attention around the point they made it to the cellar and they started talking about the mainland and the old king making theIr group live on the island. If it’s the final season I might go read up on the manga again.
  13. Did not know this was coming. Excited as Pike carried season 2 of Discovery.
  14. Hmm. That looks nice. I’ve already got the SoC Gunbusters so I’m gonna pass.
  15. Started watching Seven Deadly Sins and Baki because I finally signed up for Netflix (damn you boredom and Covid 19!!), binged Love Death Robots. SDS is fun magical medieval fantasy. Still working through the first season. Baki first episode is interesting. I’ll have to watch a few more to before I decide. LDR was great. Love all the different styles and stories told. Especially the redneck Mecha farmers vs Alien bugs.
  16. Saw it. Liked it. Waiting on the next episode. I liked Clone Wars and Rebels so the storytelling seems great to me.
  17. Jealous. I’m hoping Amazon Japan has more to sell later on cause I’m refusing to pay NY markup pricing and eBay scalper markup.
